Patent number: 11937925Abstract: Independent component analysis may be performed on a plurality of detected electronic signals to separate signals within the detected electronic signals that are contributed by different sources. Each of the plurality of detected electronic signals may be received from a separate detector and may correspond to a detected optical signal emanating from a pregnant mammal's abdomen and a fetus contained therein. The detected optical signals may correspond to light that is projected into the pregnant mammal's abdomen from a light source. The separated signals may be analyzed to determine a separated signal that corresponds to light incident upon the fetus, which may be analyzed to determine a fetal hemoglobin oxygen saturation level of the fetus. An indication of the fetal hemoglobin oxygen saturation level may then be provided to the user.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Raydiant Oximetry, Inc.Inventors: Neil Padharia Ray, Mark Andrew Rosen, Adam Jacobs, Kenneth Holt

Patent number: 11937822Abstract: A device for creating a fistula between blood vessels operates in conjunction with a guidewire to locate and position itself so that it straddles both vessels and is able to draw them together. A fixing agent is released either from within the device or from an external needle, or both, into the procedural site. The fixing agent functions to hold the relative position of the two vessels, to seal the surrounding tissue so that any leaks that do occur don't spread into the tissue to create a hematoma, and to limit expansion of the fistula. After the vessels are in close proximity to each other and the fixing agent is applied, the device of the invention employs a cutting mechanism which opens a portal between the two vessels.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2020Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: AVENU MEDICAL, INC.Inventors: Seth Arnold Foerster, Brad Mathew Kellerman, Mark Andrew Ritchart, Justin Kellogg Mann
